MixedFantasy Book Review (UK)I’m not a fan of tragedies, and this book is a great big mass of tragedy, so much so that I wonder if there will ever be a happily ever after, but oh well, it’s still interesting ... I won’t say that I really like her characters (sometimes I do), they’re sort of hard to connect with. They’re also somewhat distant though I do sympathise with them. They have, from the beginning of their lives, been brutalized emotionally, manipulated and controlled ... The novel is not exactly beautiful, more like brutal and painful, like their world itself but I will also say that never once, was it ever boring.
